Rarely does a property of this size offer this combination of lakefront recreation, productive tillable acreage, hunting opportunities, multiple stocked water features, existing improvements, and development potential. Located in Franklin County, Illinois, just 2 miles from Rend Lake, this exceptional property offers a beautiful park-like setting with scenic views, excellent privacy, and endless possibilities for the new owner.

Accessed by a long private drive, the property offers a sense of seclusion and privacy while still being conveniently located near Rend Lake and the surrounding recreational amenities. The beautiful park-like setting overlooking the lake creates an ideal backdrop for a permanent residence, private cabin, weekend retreat, or potential recreational development.

The centerpiece of the property is an impressive 15-acre private stocked lake, offering outstanding recreational opportunities right out your back door. The lake is stocked full of fish and features a private rock boat ramp, making it easy to launch a boat and enjoy fishing, boating, and other water activities. Adding even more recreational appeal, the property also features a separate 2-acre stocked pond, providing another excellent fishing opportunity and additional water habitat for wildlife.

Approximately 42 acres are currently in soybean production, providing an existing agricultural income component while also creating excellent wildlife habitat and open acreage. The combination of crop ground, timber, multiple water features, and edge habitat creates an attractive environment for wildlife and offers some excellent whitetail deer and waterfowl hunting opportunities.

Waterfowl hunters will especially appreciate the property's location. With Rend Lake and the surrounding waterfowl refuge areas only several miles away, this property is ideally situated along an important regional waterfowl corridor. The point of the private 15-acre lake would make an excellent location for a waterfowl pit or blind, offering the potential for some outstanding hunting right on your own property.

The property includes a substantial 30' x 50' pole barn equipped with electric and water, providing excellent storage and utility space for farm equipment, boats, recreational vehicles, or future projects. A 15' x 50' lean-to adds additional covered storage, while a camper hookup and concrete pad make it easy to enjoy the property immediately.

There is also an additional smaller pole barn complete with numerous dog kennels, adding another valuable improvement for someone with hunting dogs, sporting dogs, or other outdoor interests. The combination of the two outbuildings provides an impressive amount of storage, workspace, and utility for a property of this type.

The scenic setting overlooking the lake provides several potential locations for a custom home or private cabin. For those looking beyond personal use, the property offers an intriguing investment and development opportunity. With its proximity to Rend Lake, lake views, recreational amenities, private access, and existing infrastructure, there is potential to explore the development of multiple rental cabins, vacation accommodations, or numerous campsites, subject to county approvals and applicable regulations.

From the private drive and park-like setting to the productive farmland, 15-acre stocked lake, additional 2-acre stocked pond, hunting opportunities, and existing improvements, this property offers a rare blend of agriculture, recreation, hunting, fishing, privacy, and investment potential.

The location near Rend Lake provides convenient access to fishing, boating, hunting, camping, golf, and other recreational attractions while still allowing you to enjoy the privacy and space of your own 90-acre property.
